Meet The Anglins - Explorers of Navoria Chapter 2 Solo Play
Explorers of Navoria from Dranda Games caught my eye for a few reasons. First Dranda Games has been publishing some fun and interesting games. Second, the art and gameplay seemed fantastic and smooth. Well, as part of the campaign there was an expansion that added a solo mode. So you know I am going to hit that like a hermit and test it out. We have done the first challenge on the channel, so let us continue working our way through those other challenges.

Learning to Work Together - Everdell Duo Solo Play

I have previously done Everdell digitally and the solo mode. They have since released a 2 player version called Everdell Duo. There is a cooperative mode where you are working your way through chapters building a joint city. Well good news, you can take on that task solo. So here I am starting at chapter 1.

A Solo Descent Into The Nine Circles - Inferno Solo Play
this was so fun to watch!
Thank you very much. And thank you for watching.
Looks like it will be a great year! Excited to see all that you guys do.
Thank you. Really hoping to get that big push forward this year. I am really dedicating myself to learn more video editing techniques and work our graphics game as well.
@@merrymarriedmeeples Sounds great! Best wishes, and we've definitely seen improvements in those areas, so what you're doing is making a difference. :)
Thank you for great review!
You are welcome. Thank you for watching.
Wow, didn't know it could be played solo or co-op! I heard of this duo version but I assumed it was 2p head to head, so I didn't even look it up. Now this piques my interest!
The co-op version has I believe 15 missions you can play as a campaign or you can choose just one and try to accomplish challenges.
Amazing video love the review and in depth look!
Thank you!
I can't imagine I'm the only one who like the option to fast-forward left up to us. : ) I appreciate the attempt at brevity, but I'd really enjoy seeing the full playthrough. Thanks so much for your playthroughs of this, and here's hoping for a fuller narrative. Cheers!
Thank you for the comment. I have done full playthroughs of other games before and when I looked at how viewers watched them I saw a huge decline after the beginning of the video and then an uptick near the end of the game. So that is what led me to doing the speed up in the middle. I will see about changing the format in the future. Thank you for watching.
@@merrymarriedmeeples Understood, and I suspect this is a situation for a lot of folks who stream, so I can appreciate your approach here. But just to offer an additional data point, I personally enjoy listening to the "narration" of a playthrough as I watch. It lets me enjoy it as a sort of passive experience, like listening to a podcast or talk radio. When you remove yourself from the equation and it's just the boardgame basically "playing itself", I lose interest. At least that's my own viewing process, and I'm not sure how common it is, but it's why I personally hope you'll post full 1X playthroughs as well. At any rate, I'm grateful to get to see Scott Almes fishing game in action, and I appreciate the work you're doing! Cheers!
Hey, you called the alpacas llamas. You should be ashamed
Oops. I'll hang my head in shame immediately, lol. Thanks for watching
Thanks for logging the play!
You are welcome. Thank you for watching!
i love this game!
Just discovered your channel today! Always love to see more coverage of mid-weight games as they tend to be the sweet spot for me. We share 2 favorites this year: Stonespine Architects and Let's Go to Japan. I also have Windmill Valley, Wyrmspan, Creature Caravan, and Wondrous Creatures on my self to play very soon (the latter 2 were Christmas games). Shipwrights has gone on my wishlist after seeing so much praise for it and I'd also love to get Snowcrest whenever it becomes available in the US.
Welcome to the channel! Those are 2 really good games. We really like drafting games and there were so many good ones that came out in 2024. Hope you find many other videos on the channel that you enjoy. Thank you for watching!
Just discovered your channel, so thanks for this list. Good to see a top 10 list with some different (and interesting looking) games instead of all the usuals.
Thank you and welcome to the channel! Thank you for watching and I hope you can find more interesting videos on the channel.
Adorable components ☺️
They did a great job with them. Especially the cows!
Perfect video! Time stamps, game info up on the screen (esp. player count), close up footage of board/components, and your explanations were clear and concise. Much appreciated 👍
Thank you very much! And thank you for watching.
Yesss #4!!!!! Really like the game solo but can’t beat it !
It was a good year for drafting games and this was a very strong entry. Yeah the solo can be rough. It definitely takes some planning and thinking of how you need to use the cards. Thank you for watching!
Great list dude--some on there I've never heard of! I just recently picked up Wyrmspan myself after having played Wingspan with friends a while back. Really love the theme and the gameplay itself seems a bit tighter which I also like. As much as I absolutely love Arcs and have been playing my own copy recently, it's also refreshing to see a list that doesn't have it on there this year haha!
Thank you very much. I really do like the differences in Wyrmspan and Wingspan. Wyrmspan satisfies that more thinky, planning ahead mood while Wingspan is more that lighter and quick gameplay. Thank you for watching.
@merrymarriedmeeples Agreed, absolutely!
Just ordered Forges of Ravenshire. I love raiders and after watching this video... done. I never heard of it. Thank you. I agree with Let go... love that game. I love the mechanics and the. Narrative nature of it. I need to start doing videos on board game stuff. I play so many and have a huge collection. I have a ton of content I guess! Lol
You are welcome, I think you will like it. The solo plays pretty smooth. That's one of the reasons we started making videos. We have so many and there are always new ones grabbing our attention.
@@merrymarriedmeeplesi got Forges. Do you have a solo playthrough for it on the channel? I might have missed it
Here you go: ruclips.net/video/W5KWxZq8qY8/видео.html
so confused - if you discard the alpacas, how do they get into your hand to be played? where do you draw from if you discard your whole hand each time?
@aly-wy8vg you discard the cards to your own discard pile. When you need to draw and your draw deck is empty, you shuffle your discard pile to make a new draw deck. You have a personal deck you draw from each round.
Solo mode designer and developer here. Well done getting yourself into that Trailblazer scoring! I'm glad to hear you've been enjoying the game both in solo and multiplayer. What have been your favorite parks to play so far?
Hello, first off great job with the solo mode. I love how quick and low maintenance it is. I haven't had a chance to play any parks outside of Yosemite. But multiplayer we enjoy Glacier and Acadia because we usually have excess suns and those let us make use of all those.
@@merrymarriedmeeples Quick and low maintenance was the goal! Acadia is a favorite of mine as well.
just seeing this as i am going to bed! lol. i will comment tomorrow for sure and give you my thoughts.
How do you get the diplomas?
As Dante ascends the diplomas are printed at each level. Whoever is further on that track when he reaches that step puts their diploma on that colored track. In a solo game they don't address this. I just figured as long as I progressed on a track I got the diploma. Another way is by getting 2 halves of diplomas throughout the game and turning those in for a diploma of your choice.
Amazing! Thanks for loving Explorers of Navoria enough to make it your top game of the Quarter! That means a lot to us! 🤩
You are very welcome. I really love how it all interconnects. Spoiler: it is probably going to appear in my top games of the year video later this week.
Finally a good tutorial
I am glad it was helpful. Thank you for watching and hope you enjoy the game.
Can you explain how to count points in the solo variant? I mean which chip counts as the final score Greetings from Poland.
Points are scored the same as the multiplayer game, although there are some challenges that could affect that. However, in solo mode you use 2 score markers, 1 for during the game and 1 for end game scoring. Your score will be the lower of those 2 scores. During the game you score points by moving souls to the matching level of hell and placing barrels in the supply panel on your board. End game scoring is based on fraud cards you play throughout the game and diplomas. Diplomas score you points based on how far you have moved on the track multiplied by how far that sins track has moved as well. Thank you for watching.
Does this work as a nut cracker or is it just for show?
@notPeppe Just for show unfortunately.
Thanks for your playthrough , cheers
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for your review!
You are very welcome, thank you for watching.
Don't the seasons also have to match in order to score it?
They do not need to match. Only the habitat has to match to score the rows and columns.
i playd along the whole campain and i ended up with 305 points :D got the Honorary citizen. this was very fun thanks for a wonderful campain.
Congratulations! I am glad you had fun with the videos. Thank you for watching.
just backed it! if it's good for the Groom, it's good enough for me! thanks for the review!
Hope you enjoy it. It is a fun little print and play.
by the way episode 8 is lost. i cant find the video
I will include a link. For some reason I forgot to add it in the playlist. It is there now, but here is the link for you. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. ruclips.net/video/8kv3Qa10GN4/видео.html
@@merrymarriedmeeples no problem. your doing a good jobb with theis playthroughs and im following along with my own games. keep up the good work
Thank you very much!
Thanks for showing us the game. Looks like my kind of game! Ordered!
You are very welcome! Hope you enjoy it. Thank you for watching.
Thank you for this tutorial! it was so helpful!!
You are very welcome. I hope you enjoy the game. Thank you for watching.
@@merrymarriedmeeples I really enjoyed it once I figured out how to play thanks to your vid, its complicated but I think it adds to the replay-ability of it
I'm glad the video was able to help. I agree about the replayability. That was one of the things I liked about the game, the different strategies that can be employed.
Loved the solo play mechanics in Trekking The World 2nd Ed! Thanks for showing it off!
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the review! I'm glad you had fun with it : )
You are very welcome!
just backed it, looks like fun. would we possibly get this before the 25th?
@@travelinwithTODD Awesome! Yes, you will definitely get it before Christmas!
How many of each card does the game have?
For the passing and rushing cards there are 31 of each (8 x 0 yards, 8 x 5 yards, 6 x 10 yards, 5 x 20 yards, 2 x 40 yards and 1 each of 50 and 60 yards), 4 field goals, 2 of each big play and 4 feud cards (Interception, 2 sacks and a fumble).
@@merrymarriedmeeples Thank you very much!!!
Such a cozy game. Must buy!
It really does do that comforting theme well. Thank you for watching.
Thank you
You are welcome. Thank you for watching.
This game is a highly suitable game fitting Thanksgiving thematically. Only thing missing is the ability to serve pizza with pineapple in it in the game. Even tieflings consider that to hellish an option. 🥷
@@thegamesninja3119 That is a great call.
@merrymarriedmeeples I saw it in sale at Gamestop prior to this year and I picked it up. It proved to be game suitable for Christmas and Thanksgiving.
Hey, if you still have your review copy i would love to purchase it from you! Just let me know
Hello, this was a preview copy of the game. We have to move this copy along to another reviewer. Also, we do not sell preview copies of games. Thank you for asking though.
@@merrymarriedmeeples ah, understandable
i just picked up this game. have you tried any solo variants for this?
I have not, but I can see it working well for solo. There is very little interaction during a turn outside of using the dice rolled.
@merrymarriedmeeples so I guess in the state it's at now you could do solo for beat your own score? I haven't looked at it yet but was going to mess around tonight with it
Yeah you could easily do that. The only challenge there is you would get 2 less rolls per turn when the opponent would be rolling. But you could easily just grab 2 extra dice and roll those.
@@merrymarriedmeeples i have been just playing around with this tonight. getting the feel of the game. i didn't use any achievement, events or goal cards yet but i just rolled a 4 sided dice after taking my actions on all the dice, rolled and removed a card as the AI card. then just added up the scores for the AI and me. so the AI would be getting a card every round. or maybe use a 1D6 and on a 5,6, the AI doesn't get a card. something like that. as i am writing this maybe that doesn't make any sense now! lol i never claimed to be smart!
Lol. The 1d6 doesn't sound like a bad option. We weren't always filling orders every turn when we played. Maybe on a 6 no card, but on a 5 you get an order. Something to that effect that could help simulate the off turn dice rolling.
Greetings. Can you please tell me how you got 89 points? I understand where the 29 came from, but why did you add another 60?
I had previously gone around the score track once, which is 60 points. Those points were gained during the speed play of the game.
@merrymarriedmeeples now i understood))) thanks
Thank you for this playthrough!
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching!
No entendí algo, en qué momento puedes tapar una reliquia de tu compañero?
If I understand the question correctly the answer is you cover relic icons with junk tokens. You place junk tokens by using certain building powers.
Hi. Have you tried the other modes? Did you like it? Do you think it's worth buying the game just for the solo mode?
I have not tried the other modes yet. I did find it enjoyable, especially since there really isn't much change in the rules from the normal game. I would say there is a good amount of replayability in the solo mode. Between the other modes and which guardian you use. So I would say yes, I think it would be worth buying.
@merrymarriedmeeples thanks
Thanks for the great review!
You are very welcome!
This game looks so fun! I hope to get a copy of it soon, so thank you for the playthrough. It's odd that they didn't remove the highlighted boxes from the 7, 13, and 19 spaces for the solo mode side of the board.
You are very welcome. I agree that was weird. Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy it when you get a copy.
Thank you again for making videos about my games. I really appreciate it!
You are very welcome.
Just got this today on sale, along with Sirens from the same publisher. Both look fun!
We enjoyed both. This one definitely improves over more plays as you get the scoring conditions memorized and don't have to keep looking them up. We liked that sirens has an app that will play your song when done with the game.
@merrymarriedmeeples oh didn't know that about sirens, will definitely check it out! Thanks for all the info!
